Using Credit Cards

Matt Lloyd’s number one financial tip for affiliate marketers is to put all your business expenses on a credit card. He advises finding one really good credit card and making it your business credit card.

Matt Lloyd says he started using a credit card for business after he learn about the lucrative rewards programs a credit card can offer as you spend more. You are going to be making a lot of expenses for your business, especially as it grows. This expenses all add up, and can get you wonderful rewards that will benefit your business. A good credit card will give you points each time you
spend, and the rewards you redeem from your points could be something as
significant as free international flights.
